ARTSHOW AT MOTOR CITY -- One nite only!!!

I've been getting ready for another artshow, this time at Detroit's MOTOR CITY BREWERY!!! You may know that Graem Whyte has been curating his THIS WEEK IN ART artshows at the MOTOR CITY BREWERY every Wednesday nite. Each week a single artist installs an artshow in the intimate space inside Detroit's coolest brewery. On July 26, 2006 it's time for ME to show some new work and have some fun at MCBW!!! The artwork will be CHEAP because I want to make it available to the kids. These artworks will not be available online because this show for LOCALS ONLY!!! Sorry!!!

BOUNTY FROM THE SEA

Jamie Easter and I had an awesome oceanic BBQ with scallops, octopus and shark & some jalapenos on the side. Yum!!!

There was a QUEEN theme artshow&concert at the Belmont in Hamtramck on Saturday June 30. I decided to try and draw the NEWS OF THE WORLD album cover as fast as I could and completely from memory. As an 8 or 10 year old I used to love looking at that cover when I went to Tim Weidner's house (he was a couple of years older and he had teenage brothers & sisters. There were a lot of cool albums there by KISS, ALICE COOPER, CHEAP TRICK, QUEEN and TED NUGENT). This cover and many others I used to look at were confusing to my little-kid mind. Why was the robot killing the band??? I hadn't seen the cover in a long time and I don't own a copy. I think I did a pretty good job!!!

HOLLYWOOD MOVIE???

Might this painting appear in a Hollywood movie??? It was purchased for use in MY BLUEBERRY NIGHTS, the first English language film by KAR WAI WONG (the Hong Kong director that made 2046 and IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE). I sure hope it makes the final cut!!!
